A lone miner mined a Bitcoin block and earned $347,000.

An unknown lone miner mined block #920,440 on the Bitcoin network and received 3.125 BTC plus a 0.016 BTC transaction fee. In fiat currency, this is worth approximately $347,455.

Umbrel reported that a miner mined a block through the public mining pool Public Pool. According to Mempool.space, the block contained 2,181 transactions.

While winning blocks for solo miners isn't uncommon, this case is different in that the miner solved the block mining problem entirely on his own. He ran a mining pool using his own hardware, rather than pooling his mining power with other participants, Umbrel explained.

“The block was mined by a solo miner on a completely independent mining pool. No third parties. Complete independence. We need more cases like this,” stated representatives of the Bitcoin Bazaar platform.

Umbrel announced that the growth of solo miners is positively impacting the decentralization of the Bitcoin network, giving them the opportunity to compete with large public companies.

Earlier, investment bank Jefferies reported that Bitcoin mining profitability had fallen by 7% due to a 2% drop in the cryptocurrency's price over the past month and a 9% increase in network computing power.
